Good point especially since a boolean may expand to get used in three
ways for example a business web may have only 2 states, wanted and for
sale and then later upgrade also to more categories like for rent or
likewise where 3 states are need. Thank you for the replies making me
lean towards keeping what seems to be boolean states more like
ternaries and more flexible.
